The Legend control (
)
is always visible in the plot Control Panel.
It allows you to configure whether and how the plot legend appears.
This control has two tabs.
Legend control Style tab
The Style tab configures the appearance of the legend
panel, and has the folowing options:
-
Show Legend
- Whether the legend appears in the plot.
This is set automatically: if only one data set is present
no legend is shown, but once multiple datasets are present
the legend is visible.
But the option can be overridden manually using this control.
-
Opaque
- If true, the legend has an opaque white background.
If false, it is transparent, and any plot data underneath it
is visible.
-
Border
- If true, a black line border is shown around the legend.
If false, there is no border.
Legend control Location tab
The Location tab configures where on the plot
the legend is drawn (if present).
There are two options, External and Internal.
If Internal is chosen, then a control is activated showing a small box
inside a large box. Drag the small box around with the mouse to
change the position of the legend inside the plot bounds.
Note the font used in the legend is currently controlled by the font from
the Axes selector.
